Barack Obama wins!
Will his supporters now queer the deal?

In claiming the Democratic Party nomination for president, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was magnanimous in his praise of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has battled to the end for the nomination.
I keep thinking of Pres. Gerald Ford’s words to the American people as he took office on the heels of Pres. Richard Nixon’s resignation in disgrace.

“My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.”

However, as Sen. Clinton did not roll over and die whilst singing the praises of Barack Obama, many Hillary-hating BO supporters (their own acronym, not mine) are still spewing venom on the web.

You tell me where is the unity in that speech. She is all about her. I now know I made exactly the right decision to not support her.

I am JUST AMAZED –I cant even believe it was as bad and divisive as it was
So she thinks bullying him and threatening him she can make him make her VP

Makes me sick to my stomach

Wait until you see the debt her campaign will expect him to pay off

It is that kind of welcoming attitude that will turn off Clinton supporters – spurring them to vote for Republican nominee Sen. John McCain or just stay home in November.

Whether Hillary supporters would be any less snarky, I don’t know.
However, this less than inclusive language from the peanut gallery does not seem to be the “Yes, we can!” spirit of Bob the Builder or Sen. Obama.

Can they fix it? We will see.
